The Center for WorkLife Law Receives Grant from the Kellogg Foundation

The Hastings Center for WorkLife Law is delighted to announce that it received a generous new grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to expand its work on issues of work-family conflict across class. The grant will allow the Center to further document how work-family conflict affects low-wage workers and working-class families, building upon its recently released report, The Three Faces of Work-Family Conflict: The Poor, the Professionals, and the Missing Middle (jointly published by WorkLife Law and the Center for American Progress).

With the support of the Kellogg Foundation, the Center will conduct new research and writing on how work-family conflict is a major driver of the poverty that many low-income families experience, to add work/life issues to conversations around poverty advocacy. The Center will also convene a working group of advocates and social scientists to cull the latest research and develop best practices for workplace flexibility in hourly and low-wage jobs.

Many thanks to the Kellogg Foundation for its support!
